Newcastle Overcome Brighton For A Fabulous 4-1 Win And 69 points



Newcastle put in a great display tonight at St. James Park and moved a giant step towards Champions League qualification with an excellent 4-1 win over high-flying Brighton.

Brighton weren’t the team that mauled Arsenal 3-0 over the weekend, but this Newcastle team were determined tonight and the urge to win this game was there for all to see.

First half goals from Deniz Undav (own goal – 22 mins) and a towering header from Dan Burn 4 minutes into first half stoppage time saw the home side 2-0 up at the half.

But then Undav scored after 51 minutes – this time for Brighton – to make it a nervy 2-1.

That was before Callum Wilson after 89 minutes scored his 18th goal of the season having been set up by Almiron and then Callum set up Bruno Guimaraes within a couple of minutes to make the score a good 4-1 for Newcastle United.

The win brings our goal difference to +35 which is currently 7 better than Liverpool and 25 better than Manchester United.

A win against Leicester City on Monday night will assure Newcastle a first Champions League place since Sir Bobby Robson was manager back in the 2003-2004 season.

The crowd was a very good 52,122 and boy there will be some celebrating before many fans arrive home tonight.

Here’s how the league table stands after today’s game.

    I also think that’s me promoted to div 1 in FPL. 🙂 Taco, I can still catch you!

    I think that’s the top 5 decided in div 2 if my maths is correct…it’s just a matter of the order. In theory I can be caught by 6th but I’ve got way more overall points so I can’t be overtaken.

    Novo – I really don’t see why I’m out of order when there were a bunch of miserable sods on here during a match totally ruining the experience for the rest of us. I may as well have joined a mackem blog during the match for all of the negativity coming from that lot. I have the right to say that those lot ruin this blog for many of us in terms of being on here during a match.

    It’s a free world so they’re entitled to do it if they want to but I’m entitled to think they’re miserable c**ts too. Did you read what they wrote??

    Well done my team, from a very cold Austria,
    Strazberg,
    Manage to see bits of the first half, but had to rely on twitter and the blog for the rest of the game.

    Agree with you 100%, it’s a slog reading some of the posts, especially as i believe there’s a few mackems posting.
    Spoils it for me too, it’s the reason i didn’t post during the game, only before, halftime and after.

    Great effort. Great win. Good first half. Spotty in the second. Not perfect but we were the better team on the day over the balance of the match.

    Howay the Lads!

    Bigjim67 – be nice to enjoy the match experience here in the same way as the fans at the stadium or in the pub with friends wouldn’t it?

    Nerves are understandable, as are being concerned about the performance of certain players.

    But people should think about it this way, if we were all in a pub together watching the game, would they say the same stuff?

    Bigjim67 – that’s my thinking too mate. If we were in a Newcastle pub watching a Toon game and people were going on like that, I don’t think they’d last long. They’d be “escorted” out!
